Wise was arrested in 2018 and charged in connection with the 2009 death of Raymond Collison. A jury found him not guilty on Dec. 7, 2020.

Crown prosecutors appealed the not-guilty verdict and asked the Ontario Court of Appeal to order a second trial for Wise, arguing the judge had “compromised” the secrecy of jury deliberations and that evidence had been excluded from trial that “materially impacted” the acquittal.

But the Crown’s case was “entirely circumstantial,” according to the Court of Appeal summary, and the jury returned with a not-guilty verdict following six days of intense deliberations. It was during that inquiry that one juror revealed the offending juror’s intentions: He was steadfast that the deadlocked jury return with a guilty verdict.
